Interview: David de la Haye
Hello and welcome back to Artist Talks! We have been longing for this return and are so happy to kick-start this new phase with David de la Haye, an award-winning ecological sound artist focusing on underwater aquatic environments.
An uncanny and down-to-earth fun conversation about listening to underwater sounds and the fascinating experience of recording them, creation of music with others from his field recordings and some necessary gear talk.
David is a musician – a bassist, composer and technician – which informs his work and collaborative processes with other musicians. He shares about how this processes go for some of his latest projects and the value of gathering people to make music.
